Six Indian tourists go missing during trek to Nepal's Shey-Phoksundo Lake
Six Indian tourists, comprising two women and four men, have gone missing while trekking to Nepal's Shey-Phoksundo Lake due to heavy snowfall in the Himalayan region, according to the Times of India. The tourists were traveling from Ward Nos. 4 and 8 of Dolpo Buddha Rural Municipality towards the lake when they disappeared, believed to be stranded in the mountains following Cyclone Arnab.
Local officials suspect the group became trapped in the snow while returning from high-altitude areas. The lack of mobile phone connectivity in the mountain passes has made it difficult for authorities to locate the missing tourists, who are currently out of contact.
